Gas attacks

When they sent the gas over, they shot the gas, how they sent the gas over was through little pipes. And they’d shoot the gas and they’d bury the pipe itself and you’d only see one shot of the pipe, you see. So they’d wait until there was a sort of a wind going our way, if you know what I mean. And on would go the... and of course, you’re gone, even your horses, you know. They died right on the spot practically. What we used to do, without a word of a lie, we used to leak on our shirt, tear our shirt in pieces, leak on it and shove it all over our face. We had no, nothing like you have today, you know, there was no gas masks. Some guys, I’ve seen some guys, they just standing at the front line there with a rifle in their hand. You’d just touch them, they’d fall over after they got the gas, you see. You’d just touch them.
